From 4a6ce2b6f2ecabbddcfe47e7cf61dd0f00b10e36 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wei Wang Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2017 10:42:28 -0700 Subject: net: introduce a new function dst_dev_put() This function should be called when removing routes from fib tree after the dst gc is no longer in use. We first mark DST_OBSOLETE_DEAD on this dst to make sure next dst_ops->check() fails and returns NULL. Secondly, as we no longer keep the gc_list, we need to properly release dst->dev right at the moment when the dst is removed from the fib/fib6 tree. It does the following: 1. change dst->input and output pointers to dst_discard/dst_dscard_out to discard all packets 2. replace dst->dev with loopback interface Signed-off-by: Wei Wang Acked-by: Martin KaFai Lau Signed-off-by: David S.
